Fascinating! And yes we can jump to conclusions or catastrophize fairly simple sensations. Somatic tracking is so powerful for sitting with the emotions which I love. I can look for the silver lining too quickly and without realizing repress some important but challenging emotions. Sitting with your other emotions tracking lets me sit with it briefly, which often gets it to flow, and then go, rather than remaining stuck in the body which is what happens when we shove it down, repress it, or whitewash it with perky positive thoughts. I'm with you - often there's a lot of power and beauty in the emotion struggling to be heard, and wisdom. I'm good at anger, but dislike fear or anxiety - as the latter is new in my life, and frustrates me. Another fine video!
Thank you for the kind words! I agree that emotions can get stuck in the body when we try to cover them up with relentless positivity. In my experience, allowing myself to feel them without silver-lining them has been the greatest tool for healing. 💜
